I've read that DNG is not a true RAW format, but is instead based on TIFF
6.0. The color information is already converted, removing one of the main
advantages of RAW, the ability to "redevelop" the RAW file using different
white balances. This discussion is taking place on the Open Raw list.
This certainly isn't the way it appears when I open it. The .dng file
appears exactly the same as the Canon RAW file and has the same control
over white balance and colors. I don't know what the underlying structure
is, but from a user's point of view rather than a technologist, it is
identical.
